Answer:

Approximately 1% of the Earth's radius is represented by the crust.

Explanation:

Earth is composed of three different layers with different compositions-

The first layer of the earth is the Earth's crust which is brittle and very thin.

The other layers or shells are mantle and the core. These two layers have almost same thickness but the mantle occupies the larger volume of about 84% while the core occupies about 15% of the total volume.

Therefore, crust represents about only 1% of Earth's radius.

A 762 kg car experiences a braking force of 9045 N and skids to a stop in 4.3 seconds. What is the speed of the car just before

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The solution for this problem is:

We will be using the formula for force which is F = ma

=>10,000 = 2000 * a

but we need to solve for acceleration so divide both sides by 2000, we will get:

=>a = 5 m/s^2

Let the initial velocity was u m/s

=>By v = u - at

=>0 = u - 5 x 6

Since acceleration is constant the velocity can be computed by multiplying the acceleration by 6 seconds.

=>u = 30 m/s

An electron is travelling in a straight line with a kinetic energy K = 1.60 x 10^-17J. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the di

faust18 [17]

Answer:

(a) 1000 N/C

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of electron, K = 1.6 x 10^-17 J

distance, d = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Let the potential difference is V and the electric field is E.

(a) The relation between the kinetic energy and the potential difference is

K = e V

V = K / e

Where, e be the electronic charge = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

V = $\frac{1.6\times 10^{-17}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

V = 100 V

The relation between the electric field and the potential difference is given by

V = E x d

100 = E x 0.1

E = 1000 N/C

(b) The force acting on the electron, F = q E

where q be the charge on electron

So, F = -e x E

It means the direction of electric field and the force are both opposite to each other.

The direction of electric field and the force on electron is shown in the diagram.

The CERN particle accelerator is circular with a circumference of 7.0 km.

Contact [7]

Answer:

$a_c=2.0196\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$

$F=3.37273\times 10^{-14}\ N$

Explanation:

m = Mass of proton = $1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

v = Speed of proton = 0.5c = $0.5\times 3\times 10^8=1.5\times 10^8\ m/s$

Circumference of the colider is 7 km

$P=2\pi r\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{P}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{7000}{2\pi}\ m$

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow a_c=\frac{\left(1.5\times 10^8\right)^2}{\frac{7000}{2\pi}}\\\Rightarrow a_c=2.0196\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$

Centripetal acceleration is $2.0196\times 10^{13}\ m/s^2$

$F_c=ma_c\\\Rightarrow F_c=1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 2.0196\times 10^{13}\\\Rightarrow F=3.37273\times 10^{-14}\ N$

Force on protons is $3.37273\times 10^{-14}\ N$
